		<description>The term &quot;jihad&quot; (assuming, of course, that you&#039;re not just being disingenuous and attempting to associate Obama with Islam (like nobody has ever tried THAT before)) means literally &quot;struggle&quot;.  It is actually quite appropriate, in that the blind, willfully ignorant people (such as yourself) who support the obviously craven, lying, hypocritical, power-mad, spendthrift Republican Party and its current water boy, McCain, can no longer be permitted to drive our country to ruin beneath the guise of being &quot;just folks.&quot;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Struggle against ignorance, stubborn foolishness, and hubris are exactly what this country needs.  Stop fooling yourself.  The country must change, and it must change now.  McCain has shown himself to be unworthy of the office of president through his lies, his willingness to compromise every principle he once had, and his resoundingly bad judgment, both in running mates, and in his panicked response to the economic crisis.   He&#039;s a bad choice, and he&#039;s not going to win.</description>

		<description>Leo - your statement would be true if Fibber McCain actually *did* what he said he was going to do.  Instead of rushing back to Washington, Fibber McCain decided to give an interview to Katie Couric at exactly the same time that he would have appeared on the Letterman Show.  I guess he considered that more important than the financial crisis, eh?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And, THEN did Fibber McCain head back to Washington?  Nope, he stayed in town overnight so that he could appear at the Clinton Initiative this morning.  I guess he considers *that* more important as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Frankly, I don&#039;t really care about David Letterman.  Never cared for the guy, never liked him, and probably never will.  But I *do* care about Fibber McCain&#039;s cheap little political stunt and the lengths that will go through to elevate his own self interests and his campaign over the interests of the country.</description>

		<description>McCain was in New York for an appearance with Letterman and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/09/25/politics/fromtheroad/entry4477205.shtml&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;(Global Initiative), but only canceled the Letterman appear, and yes Dave does seem to be a Liebral Demonocrat.</description>

		<description>Letterman&#039;s behavior, if anything, will lead more Americans to support or at least defend McCain.</description>

		<description>A noticeable difference, indeed, Dave in Boca.  There&#039;s a jihadist side to Obamaniacs.</description>

		<description>Gee fellows do you think Letterman got a little miffed because McCain thought trying to get us out of a financial crisis was just a little bit more important than appearing on a talk show?  Sure seems like it.  Letterman has quite an ego.</description>

		<description>Even though Friday&#039;s debate is about foreign policy you can be sure that our economy will come up.  After all Obama has said all along that we should be spending billions on our economy instead of in Iraq.  The top concern among voters is our economy (I forget the exact percentage, but it&#039;s 33% maybe) with foreign policy (and the Iraq war at number two at 15%.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So I can understand why McCain doesn&#039;t even want to debate foreign policy because our foreign policy is linked to our economy.  McCain supported the Iraq war from the beginning, saying it would be a slam dunk.  This only highlights McCain&#039;s poor judgement on supporting the Iraq War.</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, as if that was never done by Obama &quot;apologists.&quot;    The only difference is that the pro-Obama sites make allegations about sexual dalliances, incest, and use obscene language that McCain sites do not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama supporters are less-evolved and articulate  and basically make scurrilous attacks in hyperventilating language that is often ungrammatical or misspelled.   The  tone is usually more like Sandra Bernhard or Randi Rhodes than like Laura Ingraham or Katherine Ham.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Preaching class warfare, but lacking any class.</description>

		<description>Checking a sampling of the reactions to the David Letterman bit from the comments sections on other websites, it seems the vast majority of the McCain apologists have decide to attack and belittle Letterman instead of address McCain&#039;s AWOL status.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Confirms my opinion that when McCain apologists don&#039;t have anything of substance to talk about on an issue, the attack the messenger instead.</description>
